Troubleshooting

Siros head not firing

Ensure the head is powered on, has sufficient charge (if applicable), and is correctly paired with the RFS 2 trigger or controlled via the app. Check that the modeling lamp is not set to off, as some units require the modeling lamp to be on to fire.

Inconsistent light output

Verify that the power source is stable. Ensure no modifiers are obstructing the flash tube or that the flash tube is securely seated. Check for overheating, allow the unit to cool down if necessary.

App connection issues

Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled on both the Siros head and your mobile device. Restart both devices and the BronControl app. Confirm your device is within range of the Siros head's Wi-Fi signal.

Modeling light not working

Check the modeling light settings in the app or on the unit to ensure it's enabled. Verify the modeling lamp bulb is functioning and properly installed.
